Main Bar
The main floor of Empire Tavern seats 60 or holds 150 standing, with dining, small plates, three-course, banquet, canapé and finger-food menus. On Fridays and Saturdays the venue runs its own music from 10pm unless the whole venue is hired.
Empire Tavern is a modern East London pub diner in the heart of Hackney, beside the Hackney Empire and Hackney Town Hall, blending classic pub warmth with a 70s New York diner look. It serves all-day dining and burgers that made Time Out's London burger list, with Flying Horse coffee and co-working by day and late listening-bar nights at weekends. The mezzanine, main floor or whole venue can be hired for birthdays, wedding receptions and private events of up to 300 guests, with no hire fee.
